In celebration of the 2013 America Recycles Day on November 15, the AGC Environmental Forum is issuing its first-ever annual used hard hat recycling challenge to AGC members. Old hard hats can fade, turn brittle and compromise workers’ safety. Let us see how many old and unsafe hard hats we can retire and recycle within the next three weeks.
Recycling your hard hats is as easy as five simple steps:
- Make the commitment.
- Set up a collection bin(s) and get the word out to your coworkers.
- Identify a recycling facility near you.
- Bring your collected hard hats to a recycling facility.
- Let AGC know how many hard hats your company has recycled.
